This is what a real prediction should be like.. Not some vague poetic metaphors that has no boundary of a slot in time and space, thereby making it flexible enough to fit anywhere as per the fancy of the person making the prediction. Here, this gentleman has pinpointed the year 2000 and the wonders that can be accomplished by then.. Really impressive!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Happy Bee, you are 100% correct. Often times, people say somebody or a scripture predicted this or that, but like you said, it is extremely vague, thus allowing wishful people to read things into it. Apart from being a physicist, Arthur C. Clarke was also a great futurologist and Science Fiction writer. Here, he proved himself as a great futurologist. However, people who are so called prophets should be able to do even better, for instance by accurately naming names of people, say Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, and exactly predict what they would do, and yet these FAKE prophets do not even come close to being as accurate as a great Futurologist
It is absolutely terrifying how accurately he described it. It’s not like the prediction of online shopping, where they got the general idea right with a few things inaccurate, this is 100% spot-on, where everything said here is already possible.
Yes you’re so right. It is terrifying how accurate he described it. The pandemic reinforces what he said. Thousands and thousands of people worked from home. Travel was limited. Meetings were and still are being held using Zoom or another communication App. The iPhone, the first smartphone was introduced in 2007. That was only 14 years ago. The changes in the capabilities of smartphones in a relatively short period of time are iincredible. There really isn’t much of a need anymore for the big desktop computers. Smartphones, iPads, Tablets and Laptops have taken over. I don’t know anyone who has a desktop computer for personal use. A smartphone can be programmed to launch a rocket into space. It’s amazing how much has changed in the last 15-20 years.
If you and other 100 make a random assumption about the future, even with 0 knowledge whatsoever, people will still react like this when they find out that random, correct video 50 years from now. For one sensate thing there are countless "flying cars". Now, imagine if a person with some actual knowledge or part in the events makes such predictions. The slower the progress goes the easier it is to see the future: now it's way harder for example. There are a shit load of nostradamuses that predate him and all do the same thing, and this video is still decently vague tbh. Sometimes I don't get how you guys fail to recognize your selective cognition and actually think the previous humans were all morons. It's not terrifying at all, nor surprising. In fact, it's somewhat funny we failed at it so hard that our so called "progress" made it to a predicted point and we still fucked up so hard to not solve the neighbour, foreseen issues along the way. More real time thinking less marvel at random clips
When memes were more introduced to the internet some placebo memes were made where they were litreally not funny had no pun etc. And just was random as fuck
@@sran438 well, imagine that there is an intelligent life out there keeping track of every move we make and has the power to wipe us all within seconds and that they think that we are not the worth the time and effort to try to communicate or make contact with us. Sounds terrifying enough for me.
I assume we are alone and am not "terrified". I have never met a person in my life who was or is terrified by the idea. The idea that we are not alone is also not terrifying to anybody I ever heard of - that includes a million physicists giving talks and writing books on the subject. He really is alone in being terrified. And btw, he is late, because the internet was already predicted in the 1800s by some Russian nobleman. The Inquirer had an article about it a few years ago, unfortunately, they closed down only in March or April, so I do not have a link for you.
My favorite part is "the world will have shrunk to a point." He says this after suggesting the colossal.expansion of communication technology, its counterintuitive and makes you think what communication really is. More communication can shrink the human world. Less places to go. Only a few ideas to convey, the rest are filtered out. Relationships are filtered out. Institutions and traditions are put to the test as well. We are still in the middle of this mans predictions.

As a consequence, like the OP said, all other voices, opinions, stories, etc. are drowned out if they arent enough like the American media to be featured in it.
The quality that is so unique with Sir Arthur C. Clarke is his profoundly high IQ, paired with a humble disposition and a reserved, but firm confidence. He was extremely well liked wherever he went, and generous to others.
This footage of someone predicting the internet is now being viewed on the internet. Edit: I'm getting sick of people repeatedly thinking I'm just stating the obvious.

The most fascinating part is that the word "internet" isn't in his vocabulary, the word didn't exist. We're all here thinking "just say the word!" but he's talking about something that in his time was so abstract it didn't have a name.
Ghost it’s like saying now days that AI will have consciousness by 2060, like I could see it happening but it also seems impossible by today’s standards. I imagine they thought like that
@@ThatGuy-yk1ey Yeah exactly. But his theory was way more complicated than consciousness. He said you can communicate with people far away and even do surgery on people from countries away (We have both of these things so his predictions were correct). If I was in his era, I would've never believed him and would've thought he was a mad man. So I can see why people didnt believe him.
In the future, you can have sex with someone else no matter where they are, or without you even knowing where they are, on the planet. Except, you will be alone.
It is trurly incredible, how sci-fi writers were able to envision the future. One day i was reading "The Magellanic Cloud" (Polish title: Obłok Magellana), a science fiction novel by Polish writer Stanisław Lem. The story was about journey of a generation starship, and in one of the chapters, the protagonist was using informational network to access some of the data for research (it was stored on a tiniest crystals). Suddenly, it hit me - the author literally described Internet, and the novel was written yet only in 1955! Amazing. Simply amazing.
If you thought that was amazing, try The Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, 1960’s The story is about a book so huge about space and similar things that it’s put into a device described in a remarkably similar fashion to an iPod or a phone It’s witty and the book itself is a stroke of genius if you ask me, I couldn’t recommend it more
I love how he says, "and the communications satellite"... WITHOUT noting that *HE WAS THE ONE WHO FIRST PROPOSED* (in 1945) putting satellites in "geosynchronous orbit" (so they appear motionless from any point on earth). THAT is a person totally secure in his genius.
Just imagine for a second what George Orwell would think of mankind willingly installing devices in their homes that monitor everything they say, when they say it, and why. We're witnessing _"Big Brother by Consent."_
At the age of 14 I had privilege of going to the Planetarium in Ceylon and instead of the usual boring recording ,Arthur C Clarke himself narrated what we were seeing . In the 30 minutes ,I learned more than all the astronomy that I learned before or since.
It's amazing how he talks about virtual surgery, which does exist now, as well as saying that we won't have to commute, only communicate, which we now have possible because of Zoom.
Yup the world has changed.....now with the emergence of internet we are observing some of our population actually becoming more retarded as the days progress......[ i'm referring to everything shitty like tik tok, fortnite, Tekashi6ix9ine,etc.]
How's this one?: John F. Kennedy, speaking to Congress and the nation at the joint session of Congress on May 25, 1961, said: "I believe that this Nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to Earth." Now that's an accurate prediction!
Arthur look at these naked children. EDIT: (I really shouldn't have brought up this subject but ACC allegedly 'interacted inappropriately' with children).
The reading of the last three chapters of 2010 & 2001 space odyssey Junior year in high school changed me. I immediately read it again to feel that again. Then I saw the epic masterpiece on film. Although Kubrick deserved the Oscar and accolades, Sir Arthur's words.. Particularly the Stargate sequence... They say a picture is worth a thousand words..yet with all the stunning, breath taking Oscar winning visuals- Arthur C. Clarke's thousand words...were somehow better than any visual could ever achieve. He's the guy sitting next to Chronkite on the moon landings, His documentary about the Mandel brot set using Pink Floyd music, His memoirs led to the eventual advent of the satellite and his thoughts on the potential life swimming beneath Europa's frozen surface is.. Arthur is my favorite Arthur and Scientists. This old man is my nigga. Thank you.
I love these practical predictions that scientists make, they're accurate and not too unreal like flying cars and stuff, loved it when he talked about the consequences and his expectations toward humankind
"people will working from home and entertain from home, human interaction will be unnecessary, pandemic will be a thing of the past" Dammit, soooo close.
This could be resolved if Morris cites his source. He made the claim that the average American spends 6 hours a day on their phone so the burden of proof falls on him.
That was damn impressive... Especially the remark on surgeons. This has to be one of the most accurate and yet so subtle predictions I have seen in my 45 years. Bravo.
@@BrushworkNL "The first true and complete remote surgery was conducted on 7 September 2001 across the Atlantic Ocean, with a French surgeon (Dr. Jacques Marescaux) in New York City performing a cholecystectomy on a 68-year-old female patient 6,230 km away in Strasbourg, France. It was named Operation Lindbergh."
I was born in the 50's, and in the early 1960's a number of people were predicting what Clarke was saying, especially during a period of time when communication satellites were being launched, lasers and robotic technology existed, and mainframe computers were getting increasingly smaller and more powerful. He's saying nothing that wasn't said or written about in the science periodicals at that time.

That last sentence turned out to be painfully true. Urban centres with vibrant downtowns are dead, but so many of us live in these soulless suburban sprawls.
Not only did he predict the technologies, he also said that it'll happen within a specific time frame of 50 years; instead of "sometime in the future".

He co wrote screenplay for 2001 Space Odyssey (filmed in 1967), and there are scenes of man and computer talking to each other just as we communicate today with Siri and Alexa, live video communication from space to earth, flat screens. FYI to the 1% who have not seen the movie:}
He spoke not only of Internet but more generally about long distant communications by satellites (so predicting the usage of GSM, cellular phones) and remote-controlled systems. What we call a visionary, A.C. Clarke counted among the few to predict a realistic future, a very difficult task where most "futurist" have failed !
Funny thing about some people in the past predicting the future is while many predictions were too advanced sounding some actually made predictions that by modern day standards are actually outdated, look at how many old scifis portray through devices, we have better than a bulky ship mounted computer that talks to you, we have palm sized computers that talk to you
Although telecommunications satellites are a thing, the vast, vast majority of the world intercontinental comms still go through underwater cables, a feat that was first accomplished with metallic conductor cables well before this recording, however fibre optic transmission was yet to be made practical (Charles K Kao won the Nobel Prize in 2009 for his work he did developing it decades before). Clarke could not have predicted how efficient fibre optics would turn out to be in comparison to satellite communications!
That end quote "I only hope the world doesn't turn up a suburb" Felt really deep. The way everyone's hooked on the screens trying to beautify the way they look through apps like instagram while being forever insecure of their actual selves really says something. In a decade or two it will further prove his theory with virtualization of everything. We might meet each others through a virtual augmented reality where everyone's in a world of 3D anime characters. Heck, we might even create a pokemon world where we might transfer our minds into, all the while our bodies stay in a house.
He did implicitly , by saying that you could communicate instantly with a friend without knowing their location. He must have visualized a device in their possession.
People keep on talking about how precisely he predicted the internet, but I am equally as impressed that he had a feeling that it would result in the earth becoming essentially one giant suburb, because when you give it enough thought, it is so true.

To be fair, it is likely a lot of people, men and women, behind the scenes and in the tech world back then, imagined and fought for the future we now have, and merely told him about it, made him aware of it, and he shared it with others is all. I don't think he magically thought it up himself, by any means. So we should acknowledge people who don't get their names heard or ever known, instead. And thank him for bringing it to others.

@@markekar6021 except you didn’t. You literally just told me “all you have to do is make a bunch of predictions, here I’ll make one for you” and proceeded to make up a prediction.

More so, his prediction was more detailed than yours. Yours was very broad, so the chances of it coming true are higher. And as far as the predictions that didn’t come true? What about them? No one is right about everything. C’mon now.
People had cell phones back then, so he still got to see that part of his prediction come true. If anything it might make him happy that a technology considered very advanced by the standards of when he made his prediction is now considered to be nearly 10 or 20 years obsolete to us.
He was half right because millions still commute to their jobs in the cities. Still an amazing prediction overall. He surely was one of the smartest people ever to live. He had insights into the future based on realities of his time.
This was filmed years after the Internet was starting. The first network that started or "inspired" the internet was the ARPANET created in 1969 but it really all started in 1958. He also talks about the transistors. This guy just knew his stuff back then. People think the Internet started in the late 1990's but it was a thing back in the 60's just not affordable to the average guy. What this man predicted was the internet growing and the transistors becoming more powerful so that instead of only covering the US and being used by the military, it would cover the world and be used by most civilians.
Sometimes it's funny to look back at old Sci-Fi and see how badly they missed the mark. Information technology is something many didn't see coming, so it's great to listen to someone who did.
Yup...the old saying in the 40s, "It's The 80s Now...So Where Are Our Jetpacks?" did not apply in his analysis. In fact, I really don't feel he was "predicting" anything, but merely, with an observing mind, seeing our pre-planned future...and eventually...our demise.

Clarke's best quote has got to be “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic”. In this video he is only describing technology half a century in his future and at the time his ideas were regarded as rather fanciful. Imagine what it could be like a couple of hundred years hence, that is if we survive that long. My prediction is that we will be communicating through, lets call it, quantum tunnelling requiring no conventionally transmitted electromagnetic connection at all and at virtually instantaneous speed over any distance with no limit on the amount of data being transmitted. Consequently, it would be possible to present a virtual image of oneself at any location requiring no physical presence and would be indistinguishable from the real thing. That really would be working from home.
Quite a lot of Sci-Fi really is a smart collection of "what if". Tanks, bionics, the internet, credit cards, submarines, all were famously clearly depicted in Sci-Fi before they were ever made real. Hopefully we can turn from a world that worships thug culture and go back to a world where accomplishment, innovation and pushing the boundaries of knowledge is (more) popular. P.S. I love love your predicts about quantum tunneling
That would also explain people's meetings with aliens, if they are really true. They often describe it as metaphysical experience, because they don't have point of reference.

Many modern concepts and algorithms have been theorized about as early as the 30s. It’s just that they didn’t have the processing power for it. Honestly, it doesn’t sound too scary if you remind yourself that this is many years after tech like radio and TV were popularized, which is a good beginning for wireless worldwide communication. We pretty much just lacked the physical devices for reaching bigger - same for today: quantum computers have been a concept for quiet a while, but it’s not feasible to its full potential yet.

Here, this gentleman has pinpointed the year 2000 and the wonders that can be accomplished by then.. Really impressive!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Happy Bee, you are 100% correct. Often times, people say somebody or a scripture predicted this or that, but like you said, it is extremely vague, thus allowing wishful people to read things into it. Apart from being a physicist, Arthur C. Clarke was also a great futurologist and Science Fiction writer. Here, he proved himself as a great futurologist. However, people who are so called prophets should be able to do even better, for instance by accurately naming names of people, say Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, and exactly predict what they would do, and yet these FAKE prophets do not even come close to being as accurate as a great Futurologist
It is absolutely terrifying how accurately he described it. It’s not like the prediction of online shopping, where they got the general idea right with a few things inaccurate, this is 100% spot-on, where everything said here is already possible.
Yes you’re so right. It is terrifying how accurate he described it. The pandemic reinforces what he said. Thousands and thousands of people worked from home. Travel was limited. Meetings were and still are being held using Zoom or another communication App. The iPhone, the first smartphone was introduced in 2007. That was only 14 years ago. The changes in the capabilities of smartphones in a relatively short period of time are iincredible. There really isn’t much of a need anymore for the big desktop computers. Smartphones, iPads, Tablets and Laptops have taken over. I don’t know anyone who has a desktop computer for personal use. A smartphone can be programmed to launch a rocket into space. It’s amazing how much has changed in the last 15-20 years.

For one sensate thing there are countless "flying cars". Now, imagine if a person with some actual knowledge or part in the events makes such predictions.

@@sran438 well, imagine that there is an intelligent life out there keeping track of every move we make and has the power to wipe us all within seconds and that they think that we are not the worth the time and effort to try to communicate or make contact with us. Sounds terrifying enough for me.
I guarantee that we aren't alone
I assume we are alone and am not "terrified". I have never met a person in my life who was or is terrified by the idea. The idea that we are not alone is also not terrifying to anybody I ever heard of - that includes a million physicists giving talks and writing books on the subject. He really is alone in being terrified.

My favorite part is "the world will have shrunk to a point." He says this after suggesting the colossal.expansion of communication technology, its counterintuitive and makes you think what communication really is. More communication can shrink the human world. Less places to go. Only a few ideas to convey, the rest are filtered out. Relationships are filtered out. Institutions and traditions are put to the test as well. We are still in the middle of this mans predictions.

It is trurly incredible, how sci-fi writers were able to envision the future. One day i was reading "The Magellanic Cloud" (Polish title: Obłok Magellana), a science fiction novel by Polish writer Stanisław Lem. The story was about journey of a generation starship, and in one of the chapters, the protagonist was using informational network to access some of the data for research (it was stored on a tiniest crystals). Suddenly, it hit me - the author literally described Internet, and the novel was written yet only in 1955!
Amazing. Simply amazing.
If you thought that was amazing, try The Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, 1960’s
The story is about a book so huge about space and similar things that it’s put into a device described in a remarkably similar fashion to an iPod or a phone
It’s witty and the book itself is a stroke of genius if you ask me, I couldn’t recommend it more

It was named Operation Lindbergh."
I was born in the 50's, and in the early 1960's a number of people were predicting what Clarke was saying, especially during a period of time when communication satellites were being launched, lasers and robotic technology existed, and mainframe computers were getting increasingly smaller and more powerful. He's saying nothing that wasn't said or written about in the science periodicals at that time.

He spoke not only of Internet but more generally about long distant communications by satellites (so predicting the usage of GSM, cellular phones) and remote-controlled systems. What we call a visionary, A.C. Clarke counted among the few to predict a realistic future, a very difficult task where most "futurist" have failed !

Although telecommunications satellites are a thing, the vast, vast majority of the world intercontinental comms still go through underwater cables, a feat that was first accomplished with metallic conductor cables well before this recording, however fibre optic transmission was yet to be made practical (Charles K Kao won the Nobel Prize in 2009 for his work he did developing it decades before).

R.I.P. Mr Arthur C Clarke. You are a wise man indeed! And you lived to see your predictions come true!
His last words were: “told ya so”
all u need to do is make a bunch of predictions. here ill make one for you.. ive got 50 or so if u got time.. ppl will eventually have robot and or avatar version of themselves walking around doing most of their chores for them.
@@markekar6021 I’m gunna quote you a top comment that I read on this video. If you don’t want to read the whole thing skip to part I put in bold.
“He wasn’t dreaming, he was paying careful attention to innovations in his own time and from that extrapolating how that could change the world in the future. *Any idiot can make guesses that turn out to be correct, but to be able to work out the future from careful observations about the present is the hallmark of true insight and perception* “
@@lostinthewoods3918 that's what I did.. how about all his predictions that didn't come true?
@@markekar6021 except you didn’t. You literally just told me “all you have to do is make a bunch of predictions, here I’ll make one for you” and proceeded to make up a prediction. And the comment I just quoted to you perfectly explains how anyone can do that. (Btw I’m not calling you an idiot, that’s just what person who wrote the comment decided to write.) More so, his prediction was more detailed than yours. Yours was very broad, so the chances of it coming true are higher. And as far as the predictions that didn’t come true? What about them? No one is right about everything. C’mon now.
@@lostinthewoods3918 There's always an unimpressed naysayer. Ignore them.
This gave me goosebumps.
I'm glad he lived to see all of this prediction come true.
He passed away just before the boom of smartphones though :(
To his credit, absolutely nobody predicted the smartphone, let alone the unconscious power of that comes with it.
@@josephstalin9139 he literally did he explained phones in this video
@@josephstalin9139 Star Trek predicted phones and tablets lonnngg before they existed I assume many people in many different places did as well
go back in time and tell him?
People had cell phones back then, so he still got to see that part of his prediction come true. If anything it might make him happy that a technology considered very advanced by the standards of when he made his prediction is now considered to be nearly 10 or 20 years obsolete to us.
Man not just the Internet but remote work as well. Crazy.
He was half right because millions still commute to their jobs in the cities. Still an amazing prediction overall. He surely was one of the smartest people ever to live. He had insights into the future based on realities of his time.
This was filmed years after the Internet was starting. The first network that started or "inspired" the internet was the ARPANET created in 1969 but it really all started in 1958.
He also talks about the transistors. This guy just knew his stuff back then.
People think the Internet started in the late 1990's but it was a thing back in the 60's just not affordable to the average guy.
What this man predicted was the internet growing and the transistors becoming more powerful so that instead of only covering the US and being used by the military, it would cover the world and be used by most civilians.
Exactly
👍
I came here to say this. Thank you. I was starting to think I was the only person that knew about the Arpanet.
yeah he's predicting the world wide web not the internet
The web didn't come along until 1990...agreed on the internet/ARPANET history.
Sometimes it's funny to look back at old Sci-Fi and see how badly they missed the mark. Information technology is something many didn't see coming, so it's great to listen to someone who did.
A teacher in 1st grade told me someday you'll be able to make a phone call and see the person you're talking to and it weirded.me out.
Yup...the old saying in the 40s, "It's The 80s Now...So Where Are Our Jetpacks?" did not apply in his analysis. In fact, I really don't feel he was "predicting" anything, but merely, with an observing mind, seeing our pre-planned future...and eventually...our demise.
Yup...some other guy...about 2,000 years ago...give or take a year or two...who we portray with long hair, beard & was cast away to a deserted island...pretty much wrote about the same thing too. I've read his book...it's just as "revelating"...and just as true.
BCRadio
If anyone could've predicted the future accurately it was good old AC Clarke. I'd like to think of Andy Weir as his successor.
Literally watching this from Bali on my iPad, this guy’s amazing.
I thought your thumbnail was a hair on my brand new screen and tried far to long to get it off. Thanks for the video!
" I just hope that when that day comes and the city is abolished, the whole world doesn't turn into one giant suburb." Man, thats literally whats in transition right now. This man is a genius and were all doomed lol
Clarke was not a negative man . It's amazing people come on here to relish in negatively that accomplishes nothing .
@@770WT do you know how to read ? i said this man is a genius because he basically predicts the future and what it is still yet to come. I said were all doomed because if the whole word turns into one giant suburb than we will not live as we are used to. What are you trying to say ?
@@spryzeNxX whats up ?
I also has a thought like that, which is something like : "Someday technology will become so advanced that we don't even need to use our brain". I know that doesn't sound as smart and deep-looking as Clarke's but I guess that's my best guess until now...
@@blackman5867 in no shape or way are you wrong. What you are stating is AI. AI will take over one day and ww will not need to use our brains anymore. Altough i dont think we will still be alive to witness this revolutionary change
I remember back in elementary school in the 80's we took computer class. The teacher was saying she thought future newspapers would be an electronic form on a computer.
Sort of an easy prediction to make in the '80s. We had basic dial up networks through bulletin board systems and also early services like CompuServe.
A brilliant sales pitch by two engineers was made to a top executive at Xerox in the 80s. Their opening statement was: the future of the office is no office.
The executive's business, however, relied chiefly on paper production and consumption. He turned down their pitch and thanked them for their time.
Xerox missed it's chance to be one of the biggest leaders back then.
I was in Elementary and we took pencil sharpening lessons,and using ink wells.Not to mention how to get the Cane...
I made a prediction in math class when we bought "stocks". I bought batteries. I said "this was the future" (while holding up a Duracell). Almost right.
I mean... they are. Who even reads paper newspapers anymore? We all just get our news off Facebook (sorry, META) and Twitter.
Incredible foresight. That’s my life now 😄 Working from home or wherever, every day as a software developer. My colleagues are a couple of time zones away. We convene on Teams. Great freedom, I love it.
This man was determined to see the internet. He lived till 2009
“I only hope when that day comes and the city is abolished. The whole world isn’t turned into one giant suburb”
Social media...
How prophetic - I like the ending when he hopes “... the world won’t turn into a giant suburb ...”, because it kind of has. Everyone globally seems to have dumbed down to North American suburban fetish dream, no matter where they live. Everybody wants a car, a big house, and needless fake luxury.
@@smallstudiodesign Most of the world is nowhere near that. Much of the world doesn't own a TV, and millions don't have phones.
@StevieEthereal 966 Mobile phones yes, televisions no.
Don't haves are a majority in some cases globally e.g. cars and computers.
Millions of people have no electricity even, or bad supplies... It's hard enough in some places to get decent drinking water, let alone power supply. Solar is changing that... Slowly.
He knew exactly where the technological was heading. He even talked about remote work, which people had to put especial effort in COVID-19. And the remote surgeries , they are happening but they still have a long way to go. Wow! He gave me chills by his last prediction!
@@thundercat007 Yes, because adults cannot be excited by intelligent thought and new ideas!
Wow, you are a moron.
And SO PROUD of it!
That's true i was awestruck when he said adminstrative work thinking the same wfh situation..

I am glad he lived long enough to to even witness the iPhone. I can only imagine how he felt about these technological developments really happening.

@@hmq9052 hah! T S...? "T S" always reminds me of famous poet, T.S. Eliot.
Many years ago I heard he would always include his middle initial. "T.Eliot" read backwards was apparently the reason. Not sure if this is true.....?
Clarke's best quote has got to be “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic”. In this video he is only describing technology half a century in his future and at the time his ideas were regarded as rather fanciful. Imagine what it could be like a couple of hundred years hence, that is if we survive that long. My prediction is that we will be communicating through, lets call it, quantum tunnelling requiring no conventionally transmitted electromagnetic connection at all and at virtually instantaneous speed over any distance with no limit on the amount of data being transmitted. Consequently, it would be possible to present a virtual image of oneself at any location requiring no physical presence and would be indistinguishable from the real thing. That really would be working from home.
They would never allow it
@@theduke1163 they may not be able to stop it
Quite a lot of Sci-Fi really is a smart collection of "what if". Tanks, bionics, the internet, credit cards, submarines, all were famously clearly depicted in Sci-Fi before they were ever made real. Hopefully we can turn from a world that worships thug culture and go back to a world where accomplishment, innovation and pushing the boundaries of knowledge is (more) popular.
P.S. I love love your predicts about quantum tunneling
That would also explain people's meetings with aliens, if they are really true. They often describe it as metaphysical experience, because they don't have point of reference.
This is happening already

Sir Arthur Charles Clarke CBE FRAS (16 December 1917 - 19 March 2008) was an English science-fiction writer, science writer, futurist, inventor, undersea explorer, and television series host.
✨
He co-wrote the screenplay for the 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey, one of the most influential films of all time. Clarke was a science fiction writer, an avid populariser of space travel, and a futurist of a distinguished ability.

This is scarily accurate. One might think it's a modern video with a "retro" filter.
Post it on Facebook. Fact checkers will tell you if it’s true.. 🤣🤣🤣
Yep ... you should read some of his books... 👀
@Peter Evans you’re a goofy for acting like this is something people are supposed to know
@UCEoYUvscb5FOjNYyPD1ajfA lmao you don’t even know what illiterate means, dumbass
Many modern concepts and algorithms have been theorized about as early as the 30s. It’s just that they didn’t have the processing power for it. Honestly, it doesn’t sound too scary if you remind yourself that this is many years after tech like radio and TV were popularized, which is a good beginning for wireless worldwide communication. We pretty much just lacked the physical devices for reaching bigger - same for today: quantum computers have been a concept for quiet a while, but it’s not feasible to its full potential yet.
“Men will no longer need to commute, but will spend all his time on RUclips watching people commute"
.... they will spend their time staring at very small screens while walking into trees and into traffic. They will lose all ability to communicate and do it through animated emotions and typing short words and abbreviations.
ha!
Lol

Can't believe he lived to see 2008 thats really cool
It's amazing how accurate he was and this was 1964!! Arthur C Clarke was the Albert Einstein of our time
